Yeah it definitely would. But I assuming there must be some reason behind why the game page and jam page are separate.

That sounds like a challenge! :D And you are so nice!

Don't worry, there wasn't much chance of you finding it the easter egg. Definitely not on your first playthrough at least. The in game clue was "Spooktober 2022 alumni can be found STARTING at 20:22 *wink*" if that helps :D But yeah, definitely don't feel bad. I packed tons of stuff in there and I think only 2 or 3 have been discovered.

Haha! I'm the same, I always want to see the result of an obviously bad choice :D

Totally understand not having time for a replay. There's so many awesome looking jam submissions to get through. I think I've only play 4 or 5 so far. I'm so behind!

I understand the crashing feeling! I emotionally crashed super hard a few days after the jam ended. And I'm pretty much only just starting to feel like I'm coming out of it now. But it's good you can pre-empt that you will feel that way and prepare for it. Also, can't tell you how happy it makes me to think that something I've made could possibly help deal with those kind of feelings. That is so awesome to me.

Haha! That's so funny about the dripping thing. I could never quite decide if the sound effect was more annoying or creepy. It's probably more on the annoying side :D

Anyways, thanks so much for all your interaction! Once again, you've absolutely made my day!

Ahh, fair enough! There wasn't much chance of me finding it yesterday either because I didn't have time to play anything at all x3 I don't know if I'll get to today either >.< got so much stuff to sort out, haha. I was in the middle of playing Iridescent Descent on Tuesday evening when I had to go start dinner, and I haven't been able to play anything since.

I saw that hint though while I was playing through the first time and thought, hmm, interesting :D At the time I thought, I must keep an eye out, and then I kinda just got so absorbed in the story that I forgot to be vigilant for secrets, haha. Definitely gotta go searching when I can! I wanna find everything x3 I love it when devs hide little bits all over the place ^-^

Yeah, as much as I desperately want to play everything from the jam, I don't know if I'm gonna have the time to >.< I mean I guess I can carry on past October, but I was hoping to leave everyone a nice comment of some sort and a 5* for being awesome and making spooky games!

That sucks you crashed :( sorry about that. I'm glad you're starting to feel a little better now though :3 I feel like even if you try to be healthy with how you work on a jam, if you had a tonne of fun and enjoyed yourself a lot, some kinda crash is almost inevitable because it's never great when things that make you happy come to an end >.< I've started referring to it as post-jam blues x3 I keep going up and down since that stage of the jam ended. One day I feel okay, the next I feel like crap. But every time I've had a chance to play something from the jam that's been brilliant, like your game, it's really cheered me up for the rest of the day ^-^ So yeah, thank you for that!

I actually like the dripping! I think it's perfectly eerie :D

Thank YOU for yours and for making such an epic game <3 You may well have saved my November from being completely bleak x3

It would be super nice to get through all the games in October, but yeah, it ain't going to happen. I will try to get to them all eventually though even though the vibe will have trailed off down the track. Would still be nice.

Speaking of, I couldn't get your games to work on my Mac. Kept saying I didn't have permission to open and to contact the administrator. I'm pretty sure it's a 'me' problem rather than a general one with your games. I'm grabbed the Windows version and am going to dust off my bootcamp install to try them out :D

And yup, post jam blues sums it up perfectly. Why do us creative types have to be so susceptible to this kind of stuff. It's not fair. At least it's nice to have people who can empathise.

Thank you for all your kind words yet again. And I really do hope my little game does indeed help out with your November, even if only a little. That would make me happy.

Yeah, I was thinking I might actually be able to manage it, but now I'm sat here and it's 20th October. I'm not even halfway through >.< Plus I've got a fair few more nights of scare attractions where I know I'll come home and just want to sleep rather than play games cos the journey takes it outta me x3

It's more likely just mac in general being a silly sausage x3 I don't own one myself, so I can't test stuff on em, but regardless of whether I was using Tyrano in the past or Nani and Unity now, folks always say they have difficulty opening my games on mac T_T Having spoken to people about it, they've said it's a pretty common problem with itch games in general, and that it's something to do with mac having extra security or something and indie games being unsigned >.<

Anyways, I made a whole post about it with a bunch of info from different users with different things folks can try :3 But Rebecca was able to help with Mac testing this time around, and she also gave me a really quick and easy way of fixing the not opening issue for most people! So, she said that you just need to go to system preferences, then click on security and privacy, and then at the bottom, she said it should ask if you want to allow the app to play anyway.

If that doesn't work, this is the big ol list of other stuff I've compiled over the last couple of years xD Most of it doesn't make much sense to me, but hopefully, it does to Mac users x3

But yeah, it really is nice to be able to speak to people who can empathise with the ol' post-jam blues. I used to think it was just me and my stupid depression, but when I came across the DevTalk community and saw other devs saying things that sounded familiar to how I've felt, it was just nice not to feel alone on that front!

Merry 10/11 days until Halloween :D

Oh I'm so sorry! After posting I found your info about how to get it running on a Mac. Launching through the Itch app worked fine and is a super simple solution. I'm sorry to have unnecessarily added to the "your game doesn't work on Mac" noise. That must be pretty exhausting.

Yup, definitely helps to know we're not alone. The depression still super sucks though.

Merry Halloween lead up to you too! :D

Oh, don't worry about that x3 I'm used to it, haha. I just wish macs wouldn't be so finicky! Good to know that launching through the itch app works though! Maybe I should just give that as a first recommendation in the future rather than people having to follow what look like some pretty daunting steps to me, haha.

7 days to go!
